Among the recently launched 32 Lot gavelhouse.com auction is stallion proposition San Huberto (IRE) on account of global syndication giants OTI Racing.
The talented stayer is by Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup winner Speightstown (USA) (Gone West), the sire of 25 Group One winners who commanded a US$80,000 stud fee this season while his dam is the multiple Group performing Rail Link mare Sediciosa.
A well-travelled individual, San Huberto raced in three continents, earning black-type in each.
A one-race assault in America reaped a US$100,000 cheque in the L. Belmont JC Derby while in France he won the Gr.2 Chantilly Prix Vicomtesse Vigier, beating subsequent Group One winners Call The Wind and Holdthasigreen.
His relocation to Australia to join the highly competitive staying circuit resulted in three stakes-placings including rounding off his most recent campaign with a win in the L. VRC Bagot Handicap to take his career earnings to A$613,494.
“San Huberto is a most impressive physical specimen, he stands at 16.2hh and is an imposing figure who possesses an athletic stride, covering the ground with ease,” said OTI’s CEO Terry Henderson.
“Retired as a result of a tendon injury, he is correct in conformation, has an excellent temperament for stallion duties and will breed strength into mares of all types.”
The catalogue also includes youngstock, racing propositions and broodmares with bidding in the set to close from 7pm (NZT) on Monday 20 February.
